Hi all,

I am a newbie reseacher postgrad.

My work will be the title above and is anyone know whether it falls in Quantum Mechanics or general Electromagnetic physics?

Actually what is so different in Quantum Mechanics since I saw it seems having some corrrection in EM radiation/photon theory of classical physics. Does it means most ppl digging knowledge in this field will be always heading to Quantum Mechanics at the end?

I know that there are 2 model of EM study, say, Particle model and Wave model. but which one is crystal true and how to decide which to be used in particular study?

How about the 4 Maxwell euqations that trying to represent EM radiation?
Did Maxwell's stuff relates to Quantum Mechanics? I do not see any cross refrence since it's rare that a writer is discussing both topic in one book.

Need experts of EM stuff to help me... blur... like swimming in the ocean and see no lands...

Modelling electric discharges EM radiation?What medium,what model and parameters?

No.
Maxwell's electrodynamics is classical theory
 
I came across the terms

electrodynamic
hydrodynamic

i wan to apply maxwell to the EM radiation from electrical discharge with AIR as dielectric and Metal as Eletrodes. Voltage in KiloVolt range
 
Than apply it.
You have my permission . I think you don't need any QM in the work you are interested in.Is this good news to you ?:smile:
Are you going to analize something like the relaxation of the Hertz dipole,with breakdown of air?

I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...

I am reading WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians. The author states (2.4 Finite versus Continuous Models) that the use of continuity causes the infinities in QFT: 'Mathematicians are trained to think of physical space as R3. But our continuous model of physical space as R3 is of course an idealization, both at the scale of the very large and at the scale of the very small. This idealization has proved to be very powerful, but in the case of Quantum...
